The SmartVault PDF Print Driver lets you print from the Windows File Explorer, your desktop, or any software application that allows printing to SmartVault.
You can route documents to a specific folder in SmartVault by applying selected criteria in the print driver: client, engagement type, frequency (monthly, quarterly, or annually), and document type (tag).
